Contratos is masculine because it derives from Latin "contractus," the past participle of "contrahere" (to draw together), which retained the masculine gender of Latin second-declension nouns ending in -us. This gender persisted through the evolution from Latin to Spanish, where most nouns descending from Latin -us became masculine.
